Call for nominations: Technology Innovator Award
The CCCC Committee on Computers in Composition and Communication will honor an innovator in our community at the 2007 Computers and Writing Conference in Detroit, MI, and we need your help to identify a person who has pushed our field regarding excellence in teaching, more rigorous scholarship, and deeper levels of service.
Among other qualities, this year's innovator will be the person whom you recognize as having done the most to help other teachers use computer-mediated learning and teaching and has served as a mentor to those new to computers and composition.
This year's recipient should be a person who pushes the envelope, who moves us beyond the cutting edge to the bleeding edge, who is willing to open the technological Pandora's Box knowing full well that the challenges and work that we'll meet as that Box is opened will strengthen our community and make our classes better.
The recipient of the Technology Innovator Award might be referred to as an outstanding leader or an electronic pioneer who calls our assumptions into question, urging us to engage in an active search for new and exciting ways to accomplish our pedagogical goals in the composition classroom.
Nominees for the award can be of any academic rank (student, contract, staff, tenure-line or tenured faculty, etc.) as well as independent scholars.
Criteria for the Award
The recipient of the Technology Innovator Award- has made a significant groundbreaking or foundational contribution to the field of computers and composition
- demonstrates outstanding teaching achievements with computer technologies
- provides on-going support and encouragement to the community, in particular to those who teach with computer technologies
- contributes to the field through scholarship and publication in print and electronic media (including such media as journal articles, discussion lists, webtexts/hypertexts, text/book authorship, and editorial work)
